ok...clarify your "action" comment? and your "money" comment... they both seemed to me to imply that bolters around here were lazy and took the easy way out by buying a $600 drill and pussifying the lead... Explain where my interpretation went wrong...

uhh...what is the "no action" bullshit for, then? and what's this about money? And self glorification? There is no bigger glorification issue than busting out some stupid 5.whateverX route then leaving it that way and saying "go ahead, try it" is there???? SO that's what they've done often, then they go back and protect it for others...glorifying huh?

missed cracked!

My whole friggin point was that they aren't lazy, ie bolting the line for their own leads but for others...Don't trash talk people you don't know...regardless of the side of the fence you are on...trashtalking their actions is fine, but you don't know them, so don't presume to know their motivations and whether they are lazy...they aren't... and scott, don't be telling others (me) what's cool to climb and what's not...i don't give a shit how hard or not you climb...there are trad areas and there are sport areas...what's so difficult about that...i see no difference between smith and an in-bound ski area...it is there for recreating in...you don't like it, buzz off, go somewhere else...ie, ski outta bounds... later "chief"...

Scott...you are being an idiot...Do you even know any of the bolters in this area? Too much money? You haven't really a clue, do you??? ...and not enough action??? WHATDAFUCK? You sit here and spray on your computer 24-7 like the rest of us punters, while the folks out there developing areas are busting their asses...Most of these guys literally climb 3 number grades harder than the routes they put up...often times they've already climbed the line via natural gear...THEN they go back and clean it up and protect it for the average climber... You ought to maybe meet the people you are slamming before you slam them...Quit shit-talking about people you don't know and haven't met, it makes you look uninformed...

No spray intended...

how come there's never a "guyzrock" or something like that??? What about equal rights?? Hunting for climbing partners just sux...

Tim...leave that thing alone...don't climb for at least 3 weeks, if it feels ok then, GRADUALLY start climbing harder stuff and if you must climb now, stay outta pockets/crimps and only climb BIG jugs... It sounds more like chronic as opposed to acute (actual tearing)...give it time...you break it, and your done for a year or more... I popped a tendon in 1994 and it took close to two years before it felt anything like healed...

Yo Muff... went for a day only that weekend you were there too...gotta keep the home front occupied as well...one day is all i can swing

OFFSEASON!?! WTF!!! its prime smiff season now! screw that hot sunny crap...cold and blustery daze make the best crimping conditions!! Only thing that sux is when the ice-fogs set in...but they don't get here until late december!!!

Bouldering Smith Any questions???

Man...that was a LOOONG day...good people more than made up for the driving time-to-climbing time ratio...best routes in the world!! Congrats on Phonecalls!!!!

Hey Jean! Heading to smith tomorrow to climb on cold crispy crimps...be back tomorrow night...That's my disneyland! We'll be in the gym sunday w/ whole family... Have fun in mickey-land...ab's gonna have a blast!!!

why, i totally agree with you!!

That's easy Kurt, cuz Kassidy has been ignoring you, so matt's just jumping Pope's poop via his responses to JayB... we hear ya!

haven't looked there... They are available at drugstores and most supermarkets...easy to use, open the package, shake 'em up, throw them in your chalkbag... Ski shops have them too, as does Gart Sports and most hunting outdoor sports stores...

They are like $1.50 at Bartells or QFC...real cheap, very effective...

anytime anytime... You should also get in the habit of tossing two handwarmers in your chalk bag, putting your shoes INSIDE your down coat, and PREfreezing your hands...

whatever...best climbing is when its buttass cold out!!! Only problem is it negates the sport bra sightings!!

GOtta agree w/ Tex...screw that silly sliding around in slop and slush... Its all about dreamy pockets and crimpers and pinchies (not freshiez) and cracks and sun and sport-bras as far as the eye can see...

hey...you're one of the worst for agitating the pot, though...

I don't think you and i are climbing on the same sporto routes...
